Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This knife is a showstopper. Its titanium-aluminum blade sparkles like a jewel, its crystallized appearance the result of a special oxidation process. Beyond looks, the low-tip, 6-inch blade offers several advantages over a steel version. It stays sharper longer (though its edge can be realigned with a conventional sharpening steel and sharpened just like a steel blade); it's far lighter; and it flexes, so it's less likely to break. Like the blade, the durable synthetic handle, rounded to fit the hand, is also lightweight. The knife will not stain or rust and is dishwasher-safe. Stunningly beautiful and light as a feather, the knife makes a memorable gift in its wood gift/storage box with a hinged plastic lid. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars A Stunning Work of Art, January 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Boker Titanum 6-Inch Titanium Chef's Knife with Crystallized Blade (Kitchen)

This knife while stunning to look at, lacks the weight to make it a functional piece of cutlery. This knife is ideal for vegetables, poultry and other light chores.

This review is from: Boker Titanum 6-Inch Titanium Chef's Knife with Crystallized Blade (Kitchen)

Boker makes excellent knives, but I don't know what they were thinking when they came up with this joke.

It is too light to be used as a serious chef's knife. Chef's knives are all about heft, weight, and balance.

The handle is a joke. Again, it looks pretty, but is all but non-functional.

The blades flexes. Find me another professional-grade chef's knife that flexes. Trust me, you won't. A good knife blade will be thick and rigid, excpet of course for boning, filet, and other specialty knives.

For the money, you would be much better off going with a J.A. Henckels or Wusthof chef's knife. This thing is pathetic.
